Housing office offers
pay-as-you-go food plan
by Mike Doran
The Beef Board has been
moved from its old place
across from FA313 to a wall
near the POs and enclosed
with glass. In the past, stu-dents
gathered around the
for conversation if people
need to get away from the
crowds and noise of the cof-feehouse.
Both campus ministries
and the Association of Inter-denominational
Ministries
are playing a part in getting
Inesis going at Bethel.
There is a sign-up sheet in
the coffeeshop for volunteers
to work behind the serving
counter from 9:15-11 p.m.
Inesis aims at entertainment, fellowship
by Tammy Gregerson
An experiment has been
proposed by the housing of-fice
which would give corn-muting
students an alternate
food plan if they would lease
Bethel housing. This plan in-volves
the exemption from a
minimum food charge and al-lows
students to charge their
meals and pay the bill at the
end of each month.
Rod Long, director of hous-ing,
said the experiment is
actually two-fold. Some stu-dents,
said Long, say they
don't use the entire amount of
money allotted to them in the
present system. This plan
would provide data on how
much food one student pur-chases
in a semester. Stu-dents
using the plan would be
interviewed at the end of the
term to consider things such
as the average number of
by Ruth D. Hubbard
The Bethel community is
given a new opportunity to
enjoy free entertainment each
Friday evening from 9:30 to
11:30 in the "Inesis" coffee-house,
located in the coffee
shop dining area.
The coffeehouse is a refuge
where students can go to re-lax
with others in the com-munity
while various cam-pus
talents share their musi-meals
eaten a day, the num-ber
of times they went home,
and other factors that might
affect the interpretation of
the statistics.
The second reason, said
Long, is to get students into
Bethel housing. "We obvious-ly
have spaces, so let's say
this plan is like an end-of-the-year
special."
"More and more students
are choosing to commute,
more are living at home, and
some haven't come back." The
reason for this, he speculated,
was to save money.
Long added that this plan
would be adventageous to all
those concerned. In this sys-tem,
the student pays his/her
food bill in installments in-stead
of coming up with the
lump sum of $42f3 at th begin-ning
of the year. Also, Bethel
fills its housing openings.
cal abilities each night. Re-freshments,
including ice
cream, chips, soda, cookies
and coffee, will be available
for purchase.
Duane Decker, one of the
people who helped Inesis be-come
a reality, emphasized,
"It's not just entertainment.
We want to stress genuine fel-lowship
for the community."
He commented that the Le-mon
Lounge will be available
Beef Board, often in throngs,
to read other student's corn-ments,
post their own, or cor-rect
spelling or logic on
others.
-The old Beef Board was
becoming an eyesore, an em-barrassment,"
said Steve
Goodwin, Bethel Student As-sociation
(BSA) president.
People coming to Bethel from
off campus were finding it
hard to understand and then
were having negative feelings
about Bethel."
There had been talk of elim-ination
of the Beef Board.
"The Beef Board functioned
as a means to talk critically
about ourselves, a healthy
and positive thing, yet it is
not well understood by peo-ple
outside of the community.
By putting it by the POs, we
hit the students but not the
outside community where it
might not be well taken," said
Greg Hamann, BSA advisor
and director of residential
life.
In disagreement to the
move, one faculty member
sarcastically reacted, "Where
the old Beef Board was, any-one
could read it."
The move itself has not
brought on as much criticism
and controversy as the deci-sion
to enclose the board in
glass.
"It will be a minimal. cen-sorship.
No, not censorship,
that is too harsh a word; we
will post everything with a
name or PO. It was a very
tough decision, but something
that had to be done," said
Goodwin.
Beefs can be left with the
BSA receptionist in the Stu-dent
Center by the Lost and
Found or dropped in inter-campus
mail PO 2383. From
there the senate will do the
following with the beefs: (1)
require a name or PO number;
(2) scratch out offensive
words; (3) date them for one
week's posting; (4) group-them
according to topic; and
(5) post them.
"By enclosing the Beef
Board under glass we hope to
bring legitimacy to it," said
Charlie Retts, BSA advisor
and dean of men. Last year
several articles were torn
down shortly after they were
put up. Articles were written
on and sabatoged, or put up
without names or POs.
"The old Beef Board didn't
encourage student responsi-bility
and accountability,"
said Goodwin.
"It is OK to disagree, but
the process of disagreement
is important," said Retts. "If
there is a complaint against
someone, let it be said, but let
it be out in the open so that
the person has a chance to
respond not only to the com-munity
but to the originator
of the complaint."
"Actually, the decision to
move the Beef Board is the tip
of an iceberg and I hope stu-dent's
don't judge the student
leadership on just that
change," added Retts. The
iceberg is the BSA's consoli-dation
and formation of a

editorial
Behind the traditions
real basis remains
Last Saturday night I went with my parents to the U of M
Gopher football game in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.
Wow. Thinking this would be a great experience, I was
expecting great spirit, college tradition and a rousing round of
revelry and rejoicing.
I was wrong. The game itself was a real winner: the Gophers
swamped Ohio 57 to 3. Every time the U of M marching band
tried to play the Minnesota Rouser after an 85-yard touch-down
run, a Hardware Hank or Coke commercial would
drown them out on the computerized scoreboard.
The same old college tradition and spirit evident at
Memorial Stadium, where the games were played before
anyone even heard of marshmallows, seemed to be gone. In its
place were commercialism, high technology and carpeting.
Where was the college football I knew?
It suddenly became apparent to me that my spiritualism
was based on a lot of tradition, cheering and Christian revelry.
What is the real basis of Christianity? Nostalgia and comfort
from traditions and centuries-old books?
No. Christianity is believing in God, Jesus Christ and the
Holy Spirit, no matter what guise we throw over it. The great
emotional experiences, similar to a sensational 75-yard touch-down
play are just that: sensational and emotional. They are
nice to experience, but not essential to the "game."
Lookino
b
at my spiritual life as it is without the title is
overwhelming: it is also very honest. And I am beginning to
find out that honesty is the only way to discover the real sense
of the word "Christian. "

Johnson assumes assistant's post
Thomas J. Johnson, Ed.D.,
of Moundsview, has been ap-pointed
Executive Assistant
to the President of Bethel Col-lege
and Seminary. A Bethel
graduate with master's and
doctoral degrees in education
and administration from the
University of Minnesota,
Johnson spent five years as a
secondary school teacher in
Roseville and five years as a
school administrator in Os-seo.
He joined the education de-partment
faculty at Bethel in
1971 and holds the rank of
professor. For two years he
was coordinator of faculty
development, and last year he
was assistant to the dean—
Dr. George Brushaber—who
now becomes Bethel's presi-dent.
Johnson will work with
Brushaber to coordinate ad-ministrative
and instruc-tional
tasks of the college and
seminary, to help with consti-tuency
relationships and do-nor
support, and to imple-ment
procedures of the Board
of Regents.
This spring Johnson re-ceived
the Spurgeon Award
presented by the Arrowhead
Council of the Boy Scouts of
America for combining career
excellence and public service.
In 1981 the St. Paul Chapter
of Sertoma Clubs of America
presented to Tom and his
wife Mary its "Service to
Mankind Award" for their
care as foster parents. In 17
years, 24 children have been
part of the Johnson family. He
also serves on the board of
directors of Arlington House—
a teen-age treatment center—
and as an active layman in
the Spring Lake Park Baptist
Church.
Dr. Brushaber also an-nounced
the appointment of
Diane Berggren of Shoreview
as administrative assistant to
the president. She earned her
B.A. in English literature and
secondary education from
Bethel College and was finan-cial
aid coordinator for five
years.
She returns to Bethel from
the office of the governor
where she was staff assistant
to the chief of staff. In her
new role, Berggren will man-age
the varied procedures and
services of the president's
office.

programs, taught in
and chaired the philosophy
department at Gordon Col-lege
and simultaneously was
adjunct professor at Gordon-
Cornwell Seminary in apolo-getics
and the philosophy of
religion.
In 1972 he moved cross-continent
to become vice pres-ident

"What is that?" one of my roommates asked me as she
pointed at my supper.
"What is what?" I responded.
"It's tomato soup, isn't it," she said. "Oh, I've heard about
you. You ate tomato soup for supper every night your sopho-more
year. Don't tell me you're slipping back into the habit."
What could I say? She was right.
When I was a sophomore I moved into an apartment in an
attempt to hide from the Bethel Food Service. Being an excel-lent
cook, I was determined to overcome the world with my
culinary genius. My cheese souffle, spanikopita and coconut
flan are mouthwatering enough to reduce to a mere puddle any
of Pavlov's dogs. And that's not even considering the reviews I
get for my tuna casserole. My mother wept when I packed my
crepe pan. I had left behind a little sister who could only thaw
hamburgers and open cans. My family was desolate.
With good intentions I set off on foot to the grocery store
across from Centennial Gardens. Yes, as a sophomore I had
good intentions, but very little money. The price of fresh
vegetables caused me to pale, and when I got to the meat
section I began to hyperventilate. It was clear that gourmet
cooking would not be possible on my budget. It looked like
eating anything at all would not be an option.
Then I saw it. The sign that solved all my financial prob-lems.
"Country Club Tomato Soup...4 for $1."
The possibilities were endless. For one dollar I could eat
eight meals of tomato soup. If I added saltines I had another
exciting variation of the meal. Every once in a while I became
daring and sprinkled grated cheese over my soup. The cheery,
steaming bowl of tomato soup beckoned me every night.
My roommates felt sorry for me and every once in a while
they would offer to share their evening meal with me. "No
way," I always replied. "I'm not going to pass up this great
soup."
By the end of my sophomore,year the only non-tomato soup
meals I had eaten were turkey at Thanksgiving and roast beef
at Christmas. When I got misty over the leg of lamb at Easter
my mother confronted me.
"Janet, what have you got against meat? You used to love all
sorts of food and now I find you slipping into the kitchen at
three in the morning to fix yourself a bowl of tomato soup. I
think you've got a problem and you've got to admit it before we
can help you."
Mom was right. I was addicted to tomato soup. It was cheap,
quick to fix, and easy to get my hands on. I went cold turkey
the summer between my sophomore and junior years at Bethel
and by the fall of 1981 I was off tomato soup.
I moved from Centennial to Silvercrest for my junior year.
As I wandered up and down the aisles of the Country Club
grocery store by Silvercrest another sign caught my eye.
"Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Dinners ... 3 for $1." That meant
only six meals for a dollar if I could eat half a box, or 12 meals
for a dollar if I ate the recommended portion. What a deal. By
October I was heavily into macaroni and cheese. Sometimes
I'd buy a package of turkey franks (10 for $.59) and throw
them in to add variety. I considered mixing in some tomato
soup but I didn't want to get messed up in that scene again.
The interim of my junior year I went to Puerto Rico and was
separated from both tomato soup and macaroni and cheese. I
developed a strong attachment to fried bananas and Puerto
Rican coffee. Needless to say, I was really messed up by the
end of the year.
This year I'm a senior. I can now make burritos, pizza, egg
salad sandwiches and chocolate chip cookies. Somewhere
along the line I lost my crepe pan.

Leadership
Seminar
by Debbie Myhrer
The Bethel Student Asso-ciation
will sponsor a BSA
Leadership Seminar, Satur-day,
Sept. 18, for all leaders of
Bethel student organizations.
The purpose of the semi-nar,
according to BSA vice
president Steve Lemon, is to
allow student leaders an op-portunity
to familiarize them-selves
with other Bethel
groups. "It's important for
leaders to have some under-standing
of what the other
groups are doing," said Le-mon.
"The goal for the year is
to bring the student body to-gether,"
he said.
The seminar will include
morning workshops followed
by a luncheon and speaker.

This summer I had the opportunity to attend a rock concert
that featured two of the most prominent musical groups in
America today. From my vantage point of the front row and
with the knowledge that I had in my pocket back-stage passes,
I knew that the evening would be memorable. As I listened to
the songs, framed by mega-decibels and enveloped in clouds of
surrealistic notation, I could not help but be captured by the
pulses of audience anticipation and excitement.
When the featured band commandeered the stage and
launched into a litany of new and unfamiliar tunes I watched,
with interest, the hypnotizing effect these modern minstrels
had over their audience. Glancing over my shoulder I disco-vered
the source of the sweet odor that kept creeping into my
personal space. The haunting refrains in Kansas' prophetic
melodies touched me.
In the company of thousands of "believers" and "unbeliev-ers,"
with music that some have called "demonic," I came to
appreciate the Christ/Culture struggle as I never had before.
The fact was, this successful band included several Christians
who, as artists with a beautiful gift from God, had chosen to
stay in the crucible of contemporary music. Not content to
retreat behind the vinyl walls and slick discs of "accepted"
Christian music, these brothers took the risk and played on the
"front lines." Christianity was for them a constant struggle
with inestimable possibilities.
Leaving the concert and weaving down Route 35 on my way
to Bethel for some late-night work, I heard the last few bars of
John Cougar's hit song. As I pulled into the dirt parking lot
behind Doc's corner and contemplated the sin of parking in a
reserved space, I heard Cougar sing: "Life goes on...even when
the thrill of living is gone."
Suddenly it made some sense to me. To a world dying for
answers and crying for community, Christians have a clear
responsibility. Rather than bifurcate the masses into "us" and
"them," we have been called to a mission of reconciliation.
Convicted by my frequent sweeping judgments of the unor-thodox
and oppressed by my cloudy optic in terms of what it
means to be "Christian," I slammed my door and ran outside.
From inside the evangelical fortress of Bethel College I vowed
to serve God in the marketplace as easily as I attempt to serve
him at a liberal arts college. The message of liberation is for the
sick, sinful, intellectual, cynic,-and the poor more than it is for
the "religious." For one brief moment I could not justify the
artificial constructs that are the generic plague of Christian
higher education.
Forced to choose between Christ and Christian consti-tuency,
too many of us bend to the more temporal pressures.
Looking out over the calm of Lake Valentine I wondered if I
hadn't been infected with a terminal case of "spirituality." I
also feared that to remain in that state would be damning to
my soul. I am thankful for the doubts and more comfortable
with the questions.

Steve Camp warns against apathy

What do you get when you

Camp showed on Friday
night in the Bethel gym that
the two combined can be a

that more aptly fits the des-cription
of "rock and roll
preacher" than Steve Camp.
Steve Camp speaks with
the urgency, conviction, con-fidence,
eloquence and sincer-ity
of a great evangelist. He is
disturbed that the Christian
church can be so complacent.
It appalls him that Christians
can passively watch souls die
unsaved, and he is aware that
Christian colleges such as
Bethel and Wheaton can be
breeding grounds for apathy.
The songs he sang were
thoughtful sermonettes. With
his hard-hitting lyrics, his
expressive and emotional
voice, solid rock arrange-ments
and sensitive ballads,
he displayed how song and
message can best comple-ment
each other. His recent
hit "Run to the Battle" is sort
of an 80s rock interpretation
of the old hymn "Onward
Christian Soldiers." The de-parture
point for any Chris-tian
battle song, as Steve re-minded
the audience, is Ephe-sians
6, which tells us to put
on the full armor of God.
Steve warned against living
lukewarm lives in "Living in
Laodicea." "Light your Candle
(on the Front Porch of Hell)"
depicted the Christian life as
one of risk-taking and danger.
One of the most memorable
and moving songs of the night
was Keith Green's "Asleep in
the Light." This became the
theme song of the night, with
its lyrics about Christians
who are attempting to sleep
and soak up Christ's bless-ings
at the same time; "Bless
me Lord, Bless me Lord—that
is all I ever hear/no one hurts,
no one aches, no one even
sheds a tear."
Relief from the weighty
message was provided by
catchy sing-alongs such as
"Lead Me On"—in which
Steve proved to be a talented
scat vocalist—as well as sof-ter,
more meditative songs
such as "Under his Love" and
Larry Norman's "I am a Ser-vant."
Steve's sense of humor
was also welcomed.
By the end of the night most
people in the audience were
aware that something great
had taken place and were
ready to sing "Revive Us
Lord" with Steve.
Bethel's own Certain
Shapes was Steve's band for
the night. Its enthusiastic
performance, with and with-out
Steve, was well received.

Hodgson: 'conceptualized' humor of a different kind
by Jerry Manus
There must have been some
sort of cosmic. slip-up: While
Bethel's graduate factory was
grinding out masses of future
doctors, businessmen, nurses,
preachers, and other respec-table
citizens, a lone come-dian
snuck through.
But the title of comedian
might be misleading in Joel
Hodgson's case. He does not
burst onto stage spraying
one-liners, or tell you what
happened on the way to the
show. Joel is more like a shy
ten-year-old who wants to
show you some of his favorite
toys, like the generic rubic's
cube, which remains yellow
on all sides no matter .how
long it gets twisted. He seems
to be a slightly mal-adjusted
youth who gives you
a peek into his own little
world. He is a little boy who
dreams of being "agent J," and
reveals that his tuna casse-role
turns into a tommy gun.
Hodgson was not a total
new-corner to show business
when he started doing his
comic act a year and a half
ago, doing such jobs as open-ing
shows for Bethel's former
jazz/rock band K-leb. He had
been performing magic for
about seven years, and still
uses magic in his act.
Hodgson was discovered
by the Twin Cities comedy
market and quickly gained
popularity. His first big break
came when he took first place
in the Minneapolis campus
comedy competiton. Since
then Hodgson has played in
clubs and colleges through-out
the area. He plans to leave
soon for L.A. to "seek his
fortune."
Following are excerpts
from the interview in which
Hodgson talks about such
things as Bethel, his act and
sea monkeys.
Hodgson: Most of the comics,
when you ask them why they
do what they do, they won't
say why, they say we should-n't
talk about it, because
when we intellectualize we
take ourselves too seriously,
and then we're not funny. But
I've always tried to figure out
why the things I do are funny,
and why I do them and it
hasn't hurt me at all. I'm not
just trying to be funny, in fact
I have bits in my act that
really never get a laugh, they
never do, and I didn't design
them to get a laugh.
I have this new thing about
sea monkeys where I hold up
these sea monkeys in a block
of ice and say "These sea
monkeys were dying of an
alien strain of disease, but
thanks to the miracle of cry-ogenics
and a microimmul-sion
process I created on my
own, these monkeys may
someday live to another day,
thank you." And I put them
away. That's not all that fun-ny,
you know, not like your
usual jokes that have rhythm,
da-da-da, punch line. I guess I
am a conceptual comic. I'm
constantly getting compared
to the usual way of doing
comedy, and if that compari-son
ends then I don't know if
I'll be that funny.
Clarion: It's kind of off the
wall?
Hodgson: People say, • ,that,
and I've never really tried to
do that. That's just the way
my brain works; it doesn't
work in the usual joke book
method.
I'm not a stand-up comic,
and I'm not really a comic
magician, and I'm not really a
magician; I just do these
things. I don't really know if
it's a category that I'm in.
People come to watch me be-cause
I'm funny, but I'm not
necessarily any of those
things.
Clarion: Where do you get
inspiration for your act?
Hodgson: One guy that really
gets me motivated is a janitor,
and he happens to be a Chris-tian
too. Everything he says

is just really funny. And he's
caught up with how unjust
things are in the world. He
lives in a one-room apartment
with a bird, that's his com-panion,
and people say he
looks like an ex-convict, but
he gets up there and he's just
really funny.
I think too often the comics
nowdays are geared to just
produce and be as funny as
possible without really con-sidering
all the poignant
things we could be doing that
really mean something...I
don't want people just to
laugh and not think about
what I'm doing; I'd rather
have them laugh and remem-ber.
Clarion: How do Christians
react to the fact that you work
in a secular context?
Hodgson: Everyone I know
who has really talked to me
about it has been nothing but
supportive about what I'm
doing. They all seem to trust
that I really am concerned
about the things of the Lord,
and I really am trying to do
what's right. You sure can't
get good at being a comic by
just working once every three
months at a Christian con-cert.
I thought a lot of people
would condemn me for it, but
nobody has.
Hodgson will appear at
Bethel on Friday, Sept. 17 at 8
p.m. Admission is $2.
Spend January in the cultu-ral
centers of Europe under a
UMAIE study term con-ducted
by two Bethel profes-sors.

Woodrow Wilson Fellow in
1970, and received a National
Endowment for the Humani-ties
grant in 1978. Last year
he led a semester-long tour of
England and the Continent.
Born in Norway, educated

by Rich Whybrew
Official results were not
possible due to a few lost .
runners, but an incomplete
women's cross-country team
got off to a positive start in
the time-travel race it hosted
Saturday, Sept. 11.
Three St. Olaf runners
made an error that cut the
race short for them, so they
finished first through third.
"That was one of the places
that was marked the best on
the course, so I was a little
upset that they got lost," said
Bethel coach Bill Lau.
Linda Channer, a sopho-more
transfer from Menomi-nee,
Wisconsin, led the Roy-als
in finishing an unofficial
fourth behind the three St.
Olaf runners. Her time of
18:30 put her eight seconds in
front of senior Wendy Nor-berg,
who finished an unoffi-cial
fifth.
Debbie Hernandez, Mela-nie
Williams and Diane Bond
also ran for Bethel, finishing
in that order in the pack of 39
runners.
Leah Schirm, Rochelle
Kaehne, Kendra French and
Chris Peterson did not corn-pete
in the meet, so Lau still
does not have a clear idea as
to the strength of the team.
The team's next test will be

To lose a game can be dis-appointing,
but to lose when
victory is within reach can be
particularly discouraging, as
was the case when the Bethel
football team fell to North-eastern
30-24 on Sept. 11.
Victory seemed secure
when Cliff Mort rambled 68
yards with an intercepted
pass to score a touchdown
and give the Royals a 24-13
lead with 12 minutes left in
the game. Unfortunately,
Bethel could not maintain its
lead and began its regular
season on a losing note.
"It's too, bad we didn't do
it," said Royal coach Dud Lut-ton.
"We really did want to
win that game. We had a legi-timate
shot at winning it."

After last year's outstand-ing
effort it's hard to imagine
the Bethel soccer team mak-ing
any major changes in its
playing style. Yet this is
exactly what the team is do-ing.
Both coaching staff and
players are hard at work try-ing
to implement a more pa-tient,
selective style of play
than the one used last season.
The new system involves
more careful setting up of the
play in order to get a greater
quality, as opposed to quan-tity,
of shots. Taking more
time to set up the play gives
the defense a chance to move
into an attacking position and
thus be more effective on of-fense.
This is particularly
important this season as last
eastern's potent pass attack.
Northeastern covered 380
yards through the air, incud-ing
a 79-yard pass play that
came immediately after
Mort's touchdown.
Northeastern was forced to
pass when Bethel put the
clamps on its running game.
Northeastern was only able
to muster 27 yards on the
ground against the Bethel de-fense.
"I was pleased with the
play of the (defensive) front
line," commented Lutton. "We
certainly dominated their run-ning
game. The thing that
disappointed me the most
was that we allowed the big
play to happen."
"I was happy with certain
aspects of our offense," he
continued. "But there were
other things that we need to
work on."
year's number-two scorer,
Bobby Clark, has been moved
to defense.
How has the team be react-ing
to the new system? Ac-cording
to assistant coach
Andy Larson, "They have
seen the usefulness of the
change for helping the team in
the long run."
Along with the new system
of attack, soccer fans can ex-pect
to see two other im-provements
this season. The
first is in the defense. Al-though
the team will rely
heavily on its offense, it is
working hard to strengthen
the defense for more solid
overall play. Larson feels that
significant progress has al-ready
been made.
The other area of improve-ment
is the strength of the
junior varsity. According to
Larson, "A number of JV
players can make contribu-tions
to the varsity."
The team's first chance to
test the new system was in

To look at the results of the

season opener.
"It was tough, tough com-petition,"
said Book. "We have
a lot of work on but we're
already further ahead at this
point than last year. We knew
it was going to be tough."
On Sept. 11 the Royals lost
their opener to St. Cloud State
4-15, 8-15 and then fell to
Bemidji 5-15, 13-15, losing the
second game after leading
13-2.
The following day Bethel
played the tourney's top two
seeded teams. First Bethel
lost to the defending state
champion team, St. Cathe-rine's,
6-15, 11-15, and then
dropped two straight again to
Macalester, 7-15, 10-15.
The lack of consistent play
kept Bethel from doing better
against its high power com-petition.
"We would play brilliantly
for four or five points and
then we'd do something
dumb," said Book. "But those
are things that can be worked
out with practice."
Book pointed to the play of
frosh Katy Rott as one of the
bright spots for Bethel. Rott
teamed up with Pam Madsen
and Shelly Sorenson on sev-eral
quick hits from her setter
position.
The Royals hope to use the

need to get away from the

An experiment has been
proposed by the housing of-fice
which would give corn-muting
students an alternate
food plan if they would lease
Bethel housing. This plan in-volves
the exemption from a
minimum food charge and al-lows
students to charge their
meals and pay the bill at the
end of each month.
Rod Long, director of hous-ing,
said the experiment is
actually two-fold. Some stu-dents,
said Long, say they
don't use the entire amount of
money allotted to them in the
present system. This plan
would provide data on how
much food one student pur-chases
in a semester. Stu-dents

The Bethel community is
given a new opportunity to
enjoy free entertainment each
Friday evening from 9:30 to
11:30 in the "Inesis" coffee-house,
located in the coffee
shop dining area.
The coffeehouse is a refuge
where students can go to re-lax
with others in the com-munity
while various cam-pus
talents share their musi-meals
eaten a day, the num-ber
of times they went home,
and other factors that might
affect the interpretation of
the statistics.
The second reason, said
Long, is to get students into
Bethel housing. "We obvious-ly
have spaces, so let's say
this plan is like an end-of-the-year
special."
"More and more students
are choosing to commute,
more are living at home, and
some haven't come back." The
reason for this, he speculated,
was to save money.
Long added that this plan
would be adventageous to all
those concerned. In this sys-tem,
the student pays his/her
food bill in installments in-stead
of coming up with the
lump sum of $42f3 at th begin-ning
of the year. Also, Bethel
fills its housing openings.

including ice

and coffee, will be available

Duane Decker, one of the

a reality, emphasized,

We want to stress genuine fel-lowship
for the community."
He commented that the Le-mon

Beef Board, often in throngs,
to read other student's corn-ments,
post their own, or cor-rect
spelling or logic on
others.
-The old Beef Board was
becoming an eyesore, an em-barrassment,"
said Steve
Goodwin, Bethel Student As-sociation
(BSA) president.
People coming to Bethel from
off campus were finding it
hard to understand and then
were having negative feelings
about Bethel."
There had been talk of elim-ination
of the Beef Board.
"The Beef Board functioned
as a means to talk critically
about ourselves, a healthy
and positive thing, yet it is
not well understood by peo-ple
outside of the community.
By putting it by the POs, we
hit the students but not the
outside community where it
might not be well taken," said
Greg Hamann, BSA advisor
and director of residential
life.
In disagreement to the
move, one faculty member
sarcastically reacted, "Where
the old Beef Board was, any-one
could read it."
The move itself has not
brought on as much criticism
and controversy as the deci-sion
to enclose the board in
glass.
"It will be a minimal. cen-sorship.
No, not censorship,
that is too harsh a word; we
will post everything with a
name or PO. It was a very
tough decision, but something
that had to be done," said
Goodwin.
Beefs can be left with the
BSA receptionist in the Stu-dent
Center by the Lost and
Found or dropped in inter-campus
mail PO 2383. From
there the senate will do the
following with the beefs: (1)
require a name or PO number;
(2) scratch out offensive
words; (3) date them for one
week's posting; (4) group-them
according to topic; and
(5) post them.
"By enclosing the Beef
Board under glass we hope to
bring legitimacy to it," said
Charlie Retts, BSA advisor
and dean of men. Last year
several articles were torn
down shortly after they were
put up. Articles were written
on and sabatoged, or put up
without names or POs.
"The old Beef Board didn't
encourage student responsi-bility
and accountability,"
said Goodwin.
"It is OK to disagree, but
the process of disagreement
is important," said Retts. "If
there is a complaint against
someone, let it be said, but let
it be out in the open so that
the person has a chance to
respond not only to the com-munity
but to the originator
of the complaint."
"Actually, the decision to
move the Beef Board is the tip
of an iceberg and I hope stu-dent's
don't judge the student
leadership on just that
change," added Retts. The
iceberg is the BSA's consoli-dation
and formation of a

editorial
Behind the traditions
real basis remains
Last Saturday night I went with my parents to the U of M
Gopher football game in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome.
Wow. Thinking this would be a great experience, I was
expecting great spirit, college tradition and a rousing round of
revelry and rejoicing.
I was wrong. The game itself was a real winner: the Gophers
swamped Ohio 57 to 3. Every time the U of M marching band
tried to play the Minnesota Rouser after an 85-yard touch-down
run, a Hardware Hank or Coke commercial would
drown them out on the computerized scoreboard.
The same old college tradition and spirit evident at
Memorial Stadium, where the games were played before
anyone even heard of marshmallows, seemed to be gone. In its
place were commercialism, high technology and carpeting.
Where was the college football I knew?
It suddenly became apparent to me that my spiritualism
was based on a lot of tradition, cheering and Christian revelry.
What is the real basis of Christianity? Nostalgia and comfort
from traditions and centuries-old books?
No. Christianity is believing in God, Jesus Christ and the
Holy Spirit, no matter what guise we throw over it. The great
emotional experiences, similar to a sensational 75-yard touch-down
play are just that: sensational and emotional. They are
nice to experience, but not essential to the "game."
Lookino
b
at my spiritual life as it is without the title is
overwhelming: it is also very honest. And I am beginning to
find out that honesty is the only way to discover the real sense
of the word "Christian. "

Johnson assumes assistant's post
Thomas J. Johnson, Ed.D.,
of Moundsview, has been ap-pointed
Executive Assistant
to the President of Bethel Col-lege
and Seminary. A Bethel
graduate with master's and
doctoral degrees in education
and administration from the
University of Minnesota,
Johnson spent five years as a
secondary school teacher in
Roseville and five years as a
school administrator in Os-seo.
He joined the education de-partment
faculty at Bethel in
1971 and holds the rank of
professor. For two years he
was coordinator of faculty
development, and last year he
was assistant to the dean—
Dr. George Brushaber—who
now becomes Bethel's presi-dent.
Johnson will work with
Brushaber to coordinate ad-ministrative
and instruc-tional
tasks of the college and
seminary, to help with consti-tuency
relationships and do-nor
support, and to imple-ment
procedures of the Board
of Regents.
This spring Johnson re-ceived
the Spurgeon Award
presented by the Arrowhead
Council of the Boy Scouts of
America for combining career
excellence and public service.
In 1981 the St. Paul Chapter
of Sertoma Clubs of America
presented to Tom and his
wife Mary its "Service to
Mankind Award" for their
care as foster parents. In 17
years, 24 children have been
part of the Johnson family. He
also serves on the board of
directors of Arlington House—
a teen-age treatment center—
and as an active layman in
the Spring Lake Park Baptist
Church.
Dr. Brushaber also an-nounced
the appointment of
Diane Berggren of Shoreview
as administrative assistant to
the president. She earned her
B.A. in English literature and
secondary education from
Bethel College and was finan-cial
aid coordinator for five
years.
She returns to Bethel from
the office of the governor
where she was staff assistant
to the chief of staff. In her
new role, Berggren will man-age
the varied procedures and
services of the president's
office.

"What is that?" one of my roommates asked me as she
pointed at my supper.
"What is what?" I responded.
"It's tomato soup, isn't it," she said. "Oh, I've heard about
you. You ate tomato soup for supper every night your sopho-more
year. Don't tell me you're slipping back into the habit."
What could I say? She was right.
When I was a sophomore I moved into an apartment in an
attempt to hide from the Bethel Food Service. Being an excel-lent
cook, I was determined to overcome the world with my
culinary genius. My cheese souffle, spanikopita and coconut
flan are mouthwatering enough to reduce to a mere puddle any
of Pavlov's dogs. And that's not even considering the reviews I
get for my tuna casserole. My mother wept when I packed my
crepe pan. I had left behind a little sister who could only thaw
hamburgers and open cans. My family was desolate.
With good intentions I set off on foot to the grocery store
across from Centennial Gardens. Yes, as a sophomore I had
good intentions, but very little money. The price of fresh
vegetables caused me to pale, and when I got to the meat
section I began to hyperventilate. It was clear that gourmet
cooking would not be possible on my budget. It looked like
eating anything at all would not be an option.
Then I saw it. The sign that solved all my financial prob-lems.
"Country Club Tomato Soup...4 for $1."
The possibilities were endless. For one dollar I could eat
eight meals of tomato soup. If I added saltines I had another
exciting variation of the meal. Every once in a while I became
daring and sprinkled grated cheese over my soup. The cheery,
steaming bowl of tomato soup beckoned me every night.
My roommates felt sorry for me and every once in a while
they would offer to share their evening meal with me. "No
way," I always replied. "I'm not going to pass up this great
soup."
By the end of my sophomore,year the only non-tomato soup
meals I had eaten were turkey at Thanksgiving and roast beef
at Christmas. When I got misty over the leg of lamb at Easter
my mother confronted me.
"Janet, what have you got against meat? You used to love all
sorts of food and now I find you slipping into the kitchen at
three in the morning to fix yourself a bowl of tomato soup. I
think you've got a problem and you've got to admit it before we
can help you."
Mom was right. I was addicted to tomato soup. It was cheap,
quick to fix, and easy to get my hands on. I went cold turkey
the summer between my sophomore and junior years at Bethel
and by the fall of 1981 I was off tomato soup.
I moved from Centennial to Silvercrest for my junior year.
As I wandered up and down the aisles of the Country Club
grocery store by Silvercrest another sign caught my eye.
"Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Dinners ... 3 for $1." That meant
only six meals for a dollar if I could eat half a box, or 12 meals
for a dollar if I ate the recommended portion. What a deal. By
October I was heavily into macaroni and cheese. Sometimes
I'd buy a package of turkey franks (10 for $.59) and throw
them in to add variety. I considered mixing in some tomato
soup but I didn't want to get messed up in that scene again.
The interim of my junior year I went to Puerto Rico and was
separated from both tomato soup and macaroni and cheese. I
developed a strong attachment to fried bananas and Puerto
Rican coffee. Needless to say, I was really messed up by the
end of the year.
This year I'm a senior. I can now make burritos, pizza, egg
salad sandwiches and chocolate chip cookies. Somewhere
along the line I lost my crepe pan.

The purpose of the semi-nar,
according to BSA vice
president Steve Lemon, is to

groups. "It's important for
leaders to have some under-standing

"The goal for the year is
to bring the student body to-gether,"
he said.
The seminar will include
morning workshops followed

This summer I had the opportunity to attend a rock concert
that featured two of the most prominent musical groups in
America today. From my vantage point of the front row and
with the knowledge that I had in my pocket back-stage passes,
I knew that the evening would be memorable. As I listened to
the songs, framed by mega-decibels and enveloped in clouds of
surrealistic notation, I could not help but be captured by the
pulses of audience anticipation and excitement.
When the featured band commandeered the stage and
launched into a litany of new and unfamiliar tunes I watched,
with interest, the hypnotizing effect these modern minstrels
had over their audience. Glancing over my shoulder I disco-vered
the source of the sweet odor that kept creeping into my
personal space. The haunting refrains in Kansas' prophetic
melodies touched me.
In the company of thousands of "believers" and "unbeliev-ers,"
with music that some have called "demonic," I came to
appreciate the Christ/Culture struggle as I never had before.
The fact was, this successful band included several Christians
who, as artists with a beautiful gift from God, had chosen to
stay in the crucible of contemporary music. Not content to
retreat behind the vinyl walls and slick discs of "accepted"
Christian music, these brothers took the risk and played on the
"front lines." Christianity was for them a constant struggle
with inestimable possibilities.
Leaving the concert and weaving down Route 35 on my way
to Bethel for some late-night work, I heard the last few bars of
John Cougar's hit song. As I pulled into the dirt parking lot
behind Doc's corner and contemplated the sin of parking in a
reserved space, I heard Cougar sing: "Life goes on...even when
the thrill of living is gone."
Suddenly it made some sense to me. To a world dying for
answers and crying for community, Christians have a clear
responsibility. Rather than bifurcate the masses into "us" and
"them," we have been called to a mission of reconciliation.
Convicted by my frequent sweeping judgments of the unor-thodox
and oppressed by my cloudy optic in terms of what it
means to be "Christian," I slammed my door and ran outside.
From inside the evangelical fortress of Bethel College I vowed
to serve God in the marketplace as easily as I attempt to serve
him at a liberal arts college. The message of liberation is for the
sick, sinful, intellectual, cynic,-and the poor more than it is for
the "religious." For one brief moment I could not justify the
artificial constructs that are the generic plague of Christian
higher education.
Forced to choose between Christ and Christian consti-tuency,
too many of us bend to the more temporal pressures.
Looking out over the calm of Lake Valentine I wondered if I
hadn't been infected with a terminal case of "spirituality." I
also feared that to remain in that state would be damning to
my soul. I am thankful for the doubts and more comfortable
with the questions.

Steve Camp warns against apathy
Concert review
by Mark C. Anderson
What do you get when you
take the evangelical fervor of
Wheaton, Illinois, and mix in
with it the kick-in-the-pants
jolt of rock and roll? The an-swer:
Steve Camp. Steve
Camp showed on Friday
night in the Bethel gym that
the two combined can be a
powerful ministry.
I've seen many Christian
rock-and-rollers, but none
that more aptly fits the des-cription
of "rock and roll
preacher" than Steve Camp.
Steve Camp speaks with
the urgency, conviction, con-fidence,
eloquence and sincer-ity
of a great evangelist. He is
disturbed that the Christian
church can be so complacent.
It appalls him that Christians
can passively watch souls die
unsaved, and he is aware that
Christian colleges such as
Bethel and Wheaton can be
breeding grounds for apathy.
The songs he sang were
thoughtful sermonettes. With
his hard-hitting lyrics, his
expressive and emotional
voice, solid rock arrange-ments
and sensitive ballads,
he displayed how song and
message can best comple-ment
each other. His recent
hit "Run to the Battle" is sort
of an 80s rock interpretation
of the old hymn "Onward
Christian Soldiers." The de-parture
point for any Chris-tian
battle song, as Steve re-minded
the audience, is Ephe-sians
6, which tells us to put
on the full armor of God.
Steve warned against living
lukewarm lives in "Living in
Laodicea." "Light your Candle
(on the Front Porch of Hell)"
depicted the Christian life as
one of risk-taking and danger.
One of the most memorable
and moving songs of the night
was Keith Green's "Asleep in
the Light." This became the
theme song of the night, with
its lyrics about Christians
who are attempting to sleep
and soak up Christ's bless-ings
at the same time; "Bless
me Lord, Bless me Lord—that
is all I ever hear/no one hurts,
no one aches, no one even
sheds a tear."
Relief from the weighty
message was provided by
catchy sing-alongs such as
"Lead Me On"—in which
Steve proved to be a talented
scat vocalist—as well as sof-ter,
more meditative songs
such as "Under his Love" and
Larry Norman's "I am a Ser-vant."
Steve's sense of humor

By the end of the night most
people in the audience were
aware that something great
had taken place and were
ready to sing "Revive Us
Lord" with Steve.
Bethel's own Certain
Shapes was Steve's band for
the night. Its enthusiastic
performance, with and with-out
Steve, was well received.

Hodgson: 'conceptualized' humor of a different kind
by Jerry Manus
There must have been some
sort of cosmic. slip-up: While
Bethel's graduate factory was
grinding out masses of future
doctors, businessmen, nurses,
preachers, and other respec-table
citizens, a lone come-dian
snuck through.
But the title of comedian
might be misleading in Joel
Hodgson's case. He does not
burst onto stage spraying
one-liners, or tell you what
happened on the way to the
show. Joel is more like a shy
ten-year-old who wants to
show you some of his favorite
toys, like the generic rubic's
cube, which remains yellow
on all sides no matter .how
long it gets twisted. He seems
to be a slightly mal-adjusted
youth who gives you
a peek into his own little
world. He is a little boy who
dreams of being "agent J," and
reveals that his tuna casse-role
turns into a tommy gun.
Hodgson was not a total
new-corner to show business
when he started doing his
comic act a year and a half
ago, doing such jobs as open-ing
shows for Bethel's former
jazz/rock band K-leb. He had
been performing magic for
about seven years, and still
uses magic in his act.
Hodgson was discovered
by the Twin Cities comedy
market and quickly gained
popularity. His first big break
came when he took first place
in the Minneapolis campus
comedy competiton. Since
then Hodgson has played in
clubs and colleges through-out
the area. He plans to leave
soon for L.A. to "seek his
fortune."
Following are excerpts
from the interview in which
Hodgson talks about such
things as Bethel, his act and
sea monkeys.
Hodgson: Most of the comics,
when you ask them why they
do what they do, they won't
say why, they say we should-n't
talk about it, because
when we intellectualize we
take ourselves too seriously,
and then we're not funny. But
I've always tried to figure out
why the things I do are funny,
and why I do them and it
hasn't hurt me at all. I'm not
just trying to be funny, in fact
I have bits in my act that
really never get a laugh, they
never do, and I didn't design
them to get a laugh.
I have this new thing about
sea monkeys where I hold up
these sea monkeys in a block
of ice and say "These sea
monkeys were dying of an
alien strain of disease, but
thanks to the miracle of cry-ogenics
and a microimmul-sion
process I created on my
own, these monkeys may
someday live to another day,
thank you." And I put them
away. That's not all that fun-ny,
you know, not like your
usual jokes that have rhythm,
da-da-da, punch line. I guess I
am a conceptual comic. I'm
constantly getting compared
to the usual way of doing
comedy, and if that compari-son
ends then I don't know if
I'll be that funny.
Clarion: It's kind of off the
wall?
Hodgson: People say, • ,that,
and I've never really tried to
do that. That's just the way
my brain works; it doesn't
work in the usual joke book
method.
I'm not a stand-up comic,
and I'm not really a comic
magician, and I'm not really a
magician; I just do these
things. I don't really know if
it's a category that I'm in.
People come to watch me be-cause
I'm funny, but I'm not
necessarily any of those
things.
Clarion: Where do you get
inspiration for your act?
Hodgson: One guy that really
gets me motivated is a janitor,
and he happens to be a Chris-tian
too. Everything he says

Hodgson, from page 5
is just really funny. And he's
caught up with how unjust
things are in the world. He
lives in a one-room apartment
with a bird, that's his com-panion,
and people say he
looks like an ex-convict, but
he gets up there and he's just
really funny.
I think too often the comics
nowdays are geared to just
produce and be as funny as
possible without really con-sidering
all the poignant
things we could be doing that
really mean something...I
don't want people just to
laugh and not think about
what I'm doing; I'd rather
have them laugh and remem-ber.
Clarion: How do Christians
react to the fact that you work
in a secular context?
Hodgson: Everyone I know
who has really talked to me
about it has been nothing but
supportive about what I'm
doing. They all seem to trust
that I really am concerned
about the things of the Lord,
and I really am trying to do
what's right. You sure can't
get good at being a comic by
just working once every three
months at a Christian con-cert.
I thought a lot of people
would condemn me for it, but
nobody has.
Hodgson will appear at
Bethel on Friday, Sept. 17 at 8
p.m. Admission is $2.
Spend January in the cultu-ral
centers of Europe under a
UMAIE study term con-ducted
by two Bethel profes-sors.

grant in 1978. Last year
he led a semester-long tour of
England and the Continent.
Born in Norway, educated

XC season

01 ies astray
by Rich Whybrew
Official results were not
possible due to a few lost .
runners, but an incomplete
women's cross-country team
got off to a positive start in
the time-travel race it hosted
Saturday, Sept. 11.
Three St. Olaf runners
made an error that cut the
race short for them, so they
finished first through third.
"That was one of the places
that was marked the best on
the course, so I was a little
upset that they got lost," said
Bethel coach Bill Lau.
Linda Channer, a sopho-more
transfer from Menomi-nee,
Wisconsin, led the Roy-als
in finishing an unofficial
fourth behind the three St.
Olaf runners. Her time of
18:30 put her eight seconds in
front of senior Wendy Nor-berg,
who finished an unoffi-cial
fifth.
Debbie Hernandez, Mela-nie
Williams and Diane Bond
also ran for Bethel, finishing
in that order in the pack of 39
runners.
Leah Schirm, Rochelle
Kaehne, Kendra French and
Chris Peterson did not corn-pete
in the meet, so Lau still
does not have a clear idea as
to the strength of the team.
The team's next test will be
Saturday, Sept. 18 at the Lu-ther

To lose a game can be dis-appointing,
but to lose when
victory is within reach can be
particularly discouraging, as
was the case when the Bethel
football team fell to North-eastern
30-24 on Sept. 11.
Victory seemed secure
when Cliff Mort rambled 68
yards with an intercepted
pass to score a touchdown
and give the Royals a 24-13
lead with 12 minutes left in
the game. Unfortunately,
Bethel could not maintain its
lead and began its regular
season on a losing note.
"It's too, bad we didn't do
it," said Royal coach Dud Lut-ton.
"We really did want to
win that game. We had a legi-timate
shot at winning it."
The Royals' downfall was

After last year's outstand-ing
effort it's hard to imagine
the Bethel soccer team mak-ing
any major changes in its
playing style. Yet this is
exactly what the team is do-ing.
Both coaching staff and
players are hard at work try-ing
to implement a more pa-tient,
selective style of play
than the one used last season.
The new system involves
more careful setting up of the
play in order to get a greater
quality, as opposed to quan-tity,
of shots. Taking more
time to set up the play gives
the defense a chance to move
into an attacking position and
thus be more effective on of-fense.
This is particularly
important this season as last
eastern's potent pass attack.
Northeastern covered 380
yards through the air, incud-ing
a 79-yard pass play that
came immediately after
Mort's touchdown.
Northeastern was forced to
pass when Bethel put the
clamps on its running game.
Northeastern was only able
to muster 27 yards on the
ground against the Bethel de-fense.
"I was pleased with the
play of the (defensive) front
line," commented Lutton. "We
certainly dominated their run-ning
game. The thing that
disappointed me the most
was that we allowed the big
play to happen."
"I was happy with certain
aspects of our offense," he
continued. "But there were
other things that we need to
work on."
year's number-two scorer,
Bobby Clark, has been moved
to defense.
How has the team be react-ing
to the new system? Ac-cording
to assistant coach
Andy Larson, "They have
seen the usefulness of the
change for helping the team in
the long run."
Along with the new system
of attack, soccer fans can ex-pect
to see two other im-provements
this season. The
first is in the defense. Al-though
the team will rely
heavily on its offense, it is
working hard to strengthen
the defense for more solid
overall play. Larson feels that
significant progress has al-ready
been made.
The other area of improve-ment
is the strength of the
junior varsity. According to
Larson, "A number of JV
players can make contribu-tions
to the varsity."
The team's first chance to
test the new system was in

To look at the results of the
Bethel volleyball team's rec-ord
at the Bemidji Invita-tional
tournament one might
have a hard time finding
many positive things to say.

Coach Cindy Book had few
negative comments about her

is no cause for alarm, how-ever,
as the team's attitude is
one of confidence. As Larson
put it, "I think we're going to

squad's performance in their
season opener.
"It was tough, tough com-petition,"
said Book. "We have
a lot of work on but we're
already further ahead at this
point than last year. We knew
it was going to be tough."
On Sept. 11 the Royals lost
their opener to St. Cloud State
4-15, 8-15 and then fell to
Bemidji 5-15, 13-15, losing the
second game after leading
13-2.
The following day Bethel
played the tourney's top two
seeded teams. First Bethel
lost to the defending state
champion team, St. Cathe-rine's,
6-15, 11-15, and then
dropped two straight again to
Macalester, 7-15, 10-15.
The lack of consistent play
kept Bethel from doing better
against its high power com-petition.
"We would play brilliantly
for four or five points and
then we'd do something
dumb," said Book. "But those
are things that can be worked
out with practice."
Book pointed to the play of
frosh Katy Rott as one of the
bright spots for Bethel. Rott
teamed up with Pam Madsen
and Shelly Sorenson on sev-eral
quick hits from her setter
position.
The Royals hope to use the
Bemidji tournament experi-ence
when they compete in
